3D Visualization of Underground Mineral Orebodies
It takes years for a qualified geologist working for a junior mining company (a grassroots mining company) to identify an area with potential for mineral resources.
For the last 20 years, the mining industry has used many types of 3D visualization and 3D animation to explain and visualize its underground and open pit projects.
A junior mining company could use 3D animation to attract potential investors by visualizing its underground ore bodies to showcase the size of its reserve and resources.
A midcap mining company could use 3D animation to show its expansion plans for their mining facility.
A large cap or a multinational mining company could use 3D animation to accurately represent the project and explain its plan to concerned local communities and governments.
A mining 3D visualization is a perfect tool to show and visualize future plans, and to show underground resources that wouldn’t be possible to show with any other technology.
For the general public and non-technical individuals, reading and recognizing technical data and information that a qualified geologist or mining engineer can understand is almost impossible.
3D visualization and 3D animation can help explain complex engineering projects to a non-technical audience. Examples of the use of 3D visualizations in mining industries are:
